WIIITTRN AND RECITED BY B. L. SWIFT, BM Ha BATH NOT DI SD.—The Spirit, clear and high, That bore on earth an Angel's purity, Sleeps not within the Tomb ;—lnimbly we gave, And tuourn'd the while, his ashes to the grave; Yet felt we in our hearts that spirit rise, Breathe on our bps, and kindle in our eyes. There was a pride in sorrow, which suppress'd The natural sigh, and soothed the troubled breast Still was he our's, the patriot. and the sage, Whose life look d onward to the future age: We shrived him in our memory; and we kept A joyful vigil, while we watch and wept. Well therefore chose we—fire, the brother haw!, Who spread our name and number o'er the laud— Well chose we, this triumphal weed to pay, Not on his funeral, but his natal day. Why should we mourn, as closed in night, the Sun; Who yet his race meridian seems to run Whose path undying pours its bright extent, Track'd in long glory through the fn mament ? Whose radiance, in its westering course encreased ; Proves the fair promise of its early East ? Raise then the song exultant!—lnd it flow In the continual strain of gladness !—Nlo— A cloud is no the harp ;—a shade appear• ; And see—its string is wet with many tears ! The Minstrel's hand falls heavy iron' the shell, Where oiiiy vorrowittA - sound, anti wailing murmurs doll Oh PITT !--not e'en the wisdom of thine eye Could pierce the veil of deep mortality : Thou could'st for Albion hold the sleepless boor, And watch the dark designs of human pow'r; Meet the wing'd misciiii i, ere its High► was sped, And back return it on its master's ilead So diftvt thou :—and to thee such thanks she owes, As rescued thrones dewatid, and v•tuquish'd foes:— More, yet, thou couldst not— , lo—the knell unheard, The cloud unseen, so lightly meu were stir' 'd, Though sounding sm.., awl gathering—tha their woe Reaeh'd net to THEE;—thy sorii could out know The earthquake ut A Trg oN UNFILLARCD.—We Alone have tear'd and felt mat agony:— Thine hand our lautels planied ; out their bloom Thine eye beheld HA ou our I , ll..ni.orrE's Tomb. How vain are prayer, and praise !--how fruitless all No v►ctim this can save, nor this recall.— An l;tn s , ►re's love, and Pause ' s recording page May shrine u►e glace tot youth, the worth of age; Whose powerful precept and example h►gh Shall live, embalmed in Albion's memory.— But the head, wh►tened with that Enißire's care, The sun-brigni tresses of the young and fair, Are mingled the dust !—our state, and throne, Alike we yield, when Heaven reclaims ►ts own. And HE, the friend, whose vigorous thought design'd The votive* tablet of our master's mind. And hung the record high iii History's lane—. He too !—We see haul nut. ;—we seek in vain His toil fraternal, and his zeal sincere; We hod him not;—and give the grateful tear.— Yet, of the countless honours that entwine Our Statesman's urn, one wreath is due to thine, Lamented (iirrottn !—and his charmed name Shall win for thee an heritage of tame. Such for the dead its power.--Detuand we now Its guardian influence for the living brow. When shrinks the dark assassin from ►he day, And, wrapt in coward safety, waits his prey; When, like the Roman; 'mid his country's storm, As boldly eloquent, as justly warns, Thy Pupil, PITT ! defies the murderer's hand ; Then, faithful to thy cause, this brother band Shall shield his bosom front the base design, And drag to light the desperate Catiline.

Still on Allis day, till.cloo is Time's career, May PITT receive the -votive honours due; Perchance his sainted spirit hovers here, And social Order may approving view. For ORDZR was on earth his chief design, ORDER With FREEDOM, BRITAIN'S surest wets; Through life he strove those blessinzs to combine, And his last sigh he breathed in patriot zeal.

EDITOR,—I feel obliged by the invitatiott of a Serjeant at Law, and shall not neglect it. Alt passible and proper means ought to be adopted to correct public evils. But es the observations on my complaints have been politic, the reply must be public also. I totally disclaitu personaE feeling to have been the incentive to a public Appeal. - And neither the motive which actuated, nor ihe means adopted, will be influenced by any attempt to excite personal altercation. It is much feared that the learned Commissioner of the Court cannot apply remedy or correction to the .numerous evils detailed, without further legislative provision. If he could, lam perfectly convinced of his disposition and alacrity so to do. He has been uniformly just and consistent in the administration of his duties.. It is• not contended that the Agents,, as they are termed, cannot fill up notices and schedules printed in blank ; they are not malfaisants in so doing, for most of our Law Proceedings and Conveyances are printed in blank, anti may be filled up by any person. But it may be disputed if the persons so filling them up have a flea tb 'the conduct of - such proceedings, and tba eznolgtnents. thereof, unless they are regular practitioners in-the Law. The objet: ions are to this right, and not the province of an Amanu. ebsis. The proceedings of a COnet should be di.• reeled throUgh the of the Conrt, and un• less such Agents areto be considered as Officers, it is not readily to be conceded that they have a right to the conduct of such proceedings , . But the principal objection is to their stepping out of that line, and practising unduly in other Courts also; and this evil is the chief object of complaint. As Practitioners in the Court, it is admitted that many of the Agents, from continual practice, are well qualified, and . may be unexceptionable in re• gard to sense, honour, and honesty, whilst others of them are not so. But even these qualifications do not alone entitle them to practice in other Courts. If they are duly authorised to exercise certain duties, there must be Willis to) those du ties— Qaos ultra citrave nequrat consistent rectum. I take leave to disavow any personal feeling of excitement adverted to in the letter to which this is a reply. The complaints are stated in behalf of the profession and of the public, nothing has been surmised by ill -nature, nor bas any censure been provoked by disappointment. He who as cribes the contrary is in error, and if he persists in error he despises truth. Surmise and suspicion arc too slight grounds to rest a conclusion upon, but if supported by facts, cannot be falsified by truth, for truth cannot deceive. If by disap pointment is meant a defeat of just expectation, it attaches more to the profession generally than to the individual.' Your Correspondent says, is communication to the Commissioner would ac complish the purpose of my views. I repeat, that there is no doubt, of the worthy : Commissioner's endeavours kpwards such an accomplishment, but it is apprehended_ that his. utmost endeavours be inadequate,wititout co-operation-hi other quar ters; and if.- the numerous• complaints made to myself were reiterated to him, they would excite, think, a like apprehension in his own mind. He Will, hqwever,•be entitled to public gratitude for those endeavours ; he has always had my per sonal respect ; and the writer who has invited the communication will please ,to accept my per. tonal thanks. The evils which have been pointed out are •known almost universally_to the Profession of the Law, and in making them public through your columns, .my object was to invite the means of remedy against the abuses of a measure to whose' principle 1 was always a friend.. I am not yet of opinion that the course pur'sried is an improper one. If it is, I trust the motive which I have announced will plead . an excuse for me, and that I may be'pemitted to.conclude.

A &an is in agitation to shorten the distance, And to avoid all the steep hills, between Wake field and Huddersfield, and from thence to Marsden, which, (if funds can be procured to carry it into effect) will be of the greatest pnssiloe public utility : it will materially facilitate the communication with Almondbury, as far as Grange Moor; and it is computed, that the projected improvement will, in the first line, shorten the time in posting with a chaise and , pair full one-third, and mi-ike the difference, in draught, of at least one horse in three. From Huddersfield to Marsden the advantage to the country will be equally great.--(Leeds LAW. genCe/
